The Future of Transport: How to Breathe Air into the Congested City? Go-Ahead Group and Jericho Chambers discuss

Is private car ownership defunct? With road space limited and road usage growing, the debate on congestion and air quality in cities is heated. While opinions vary on what is to be done, people agree that a breakthrough is needed. Will it be a matter of P2P platforms, a technological overhaul of systems and modes of transport, policy reform - or a combination of the three?

Answering these and other transport and air-quality questions: Isabel Dedring, Global Transport Lead at ARUP; Nick Lester-Davis, Vice-Chair, European Road Transport Research Advisory; Jonathan Hampson, General Manager, Zipcar; Frank Kelly, Professor of Environmental Health, King's College London; and David Brown, CEO, Go-Ahead Group.Jericho Conversations is one of a number of initiatives that spontaneously emerged during the first COVID lockdown – part of a determination to use moments of crisis to pivot towards a better, fairer, more equitable and sustainable future for all.
